Just wanted to say for anyone trying to decide on a 22" lcd monitor to buy, I received my new Acer monitor and it is a hands down winner. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009145 Didn't have to touch a thing out of the box (i.e. contrast, brightness).

Some of my 256 MB PC133 sticks have chips on one side, and some have them on both sides. Is there a quality or speed difference between them, and if so which is the better stick? thanks, al

As its about 5 years since last upgrade and now out of touch with what's what I'm seeking any recommendations. Not a big gamer but would like an up-to-date reasonably high end system for e-mail, internet, general office processes together with photo and some video work and not too worried about...

I'm building a new gaming rig and got an Antec TPQ-850 850w ATX12V / EPS12V SLI certified crossfire ready PSU. I was reading the mobo (asus P6T-deluxe X58 w/Intel i7 940) instruction manual and it recommends a 1000w PSU when running two, or more, 'high end' video cards. I have two VGA SAPPHIRE...

I took a used Dell Dimension 2400, with xp home basic on it, deleted all partitions, recreated a partition w/ntfs w/xp professional, and when all was installed and I booted, the first screen was an operating system choice for booting, either pro or home. Naturally when you clicked on home basic...

Cut my losses. Even for a hobby box the potential issues were too many. :( Set up another box and life is good again. Boy this P4 2.8 is one heck of a lot slower than the old Athalon XP 2500. But it's stable. SIGH. I did replace the power supply (in the now retired box) with one lying around...

I am building a new system, which will include a PCIe x16 video card, probably using a GeForce chipset, purely out of "customer loyality". However, all the candidate cards I am window shopping give as a PSU requirement, besides the overall wattage, say they need "18A on the +12V Rail". My...

I'd like to have a discussion regarding building a "next generation" Intel based system. Currently it would be based upon the LGA1366 socket version Nehalem and the relatively few motherboards made for the 3 available processors. But sometime next year (Q3 by most accounts) Intel will...
